RDP and Tinfo Mobile
“We view the benefits offered by RDP from a broader, long-term
perspective. RDP gives us access to a very large customer base,
handsets and comprehensive testing facilities. It is exciting to know that
we are working on developing applications and games for a network that
is 100 per cent data-enabled, coupled with the distinction of having
almost 100 percent Java enabled handsets. Another important factor is
the availability of advanced features and a uniform set of Applications
Programming Interface (APIs) that help us deliver killer applications,
which may not be possible on the handsets of other networks.”
